    Ok today i downloaded wordpress, and i downloaded a theme off the website and modified it. I used fire bug to help me with all the modifications but there are 7 things i cant seem to change/fix.

    1 The title of the website and the title of the posts are now small. (they were large befor but somehow they got small and i dont know how to fix it.)
    2 On the callender widget there is an extra row at the bottom and i cant get the white borders to go black.
    3 On the Most visited widget the alignment is off a bit, and there are problems with the border. There is also one white line on the left side i cant remove.
    4 The bottom border is missing around the name of some widgets callender for example.
    5 There is a white line when you look at a post responce
    6 there is no footer. (i want to make my footer in coding, and i want to make it where it cannot be changed.
    7 The theme is currently in a folder with the original name. If i try and rename the folder to the theme name the widgets wont work at all.

    Here is my theme.

    Sorry i didnt know how to upload it here and if i paste code the post wont work for some reason

    Please paste files at https://wordpress.pastebin.com/

    Select PHP syntax highlighting so we can easily read the code

    Post the link you get at pastebin here, so that we can look at it.

    Several of your points are css related, so …

    If you install Firefox Firebug then when you visit your website you can immediately see the css styling plus line numbers for those problem cases

    Firebug wont change the things i am having problems with and also the person who made the original theme made it with the code all on one line witch makes it really hard to edit
    The link is: href=”https://pastebin.com/L6s10MjK”>

    >>>with the code all on one line witch makes it really hard to edit

    Use one of these tools to make the CSS pretty again

    With fire bug i can edit the code and it will show me what the changes would look like but if i refresh id lose them.

    Could you quickly tell me how to get the widgets to work if you move the theme to a new folder? I want the folder its in to have the same name as the theme but stuff stops working if the folder name is changed

    to rename

    Temp switch to another theme.

    Rename the folder

    Activate that theme again

    So the trick is to NOT change folder name while theme is LIVE

    Did widgets work before the move?

    Do a search of your current foldername.In th entire wordpress folder.
    If it shows up anyware in a path for instance.
    Change it to your new foldername.

    Make sure to backup what you change first

    Ok, i got the theme in a new folder and its working i had to modify all the files and change the names.

    I still need help with the other 6

    Martin010

    (@martin010)

    The link you send is now redirecting.
    (https://mytestsite.site88.net/)

    In order to solve the remaining 6, I need to see that URL.

    The link is now working and take your where it is suppose to. Sorry the server that site was hosted on received a DDos attack or something like that so the host checked each site on the server 1 by one.
